1. Climate Reporting & CO₂ Data Management • Coordinate annual carbon accounting for Scopes 1, 2, and 3 in line with GHG Protocol.

2. ESG Ratings & Benchmarking

• Lead the preparation and submission of key ESG ratings and questionnaires (CDP, EcoVadis, Sustainalytics).

• Coordinate input from relevant departments, including Risk, Compliance, HR, and Procurement.

• Ensure timely, complete, and high-quality submissions.

• Monitor results and support improvement actions.

3. Sustainability Initiatives – Scope 1 & 2 • Support and coordinate actions to reduce Scope 1 and 2 emissions (e.g., green energy sourcing, energy efficiency, fleet decarbonization).

• Work closely with operational teams and local entities to implement practical solutions.

• Track project impact and contribute to internal reporting on emissions reductions.
